Overtaking from the right side is not allowed. Article 47 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates: The overtaking vehicle should pass the preceding vehicle from its left side after confirming there is sufficient safe distance. When overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, and sound the horn. On roads without a central dividing line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the preceding vehicle should reduce speed and give way to the right when receiving overtaking signals from the following vehicle, provided that conditions permit. In China, the driver's seat is on the left side, making the left-side view easier to observe compared to the right side. Overtaking from the right requires significant head movement to observe the road ahead. The range of head movement needed for left-side overtaking is smaller than for right-side overtaking, allowing drivers to promptly detect and handle sudden situations such as obstacles, pedestrians, or vehicles appearing on the left. Due to visibility limitations and the greater range of head movement required, right-side overtaking may delay the optimal response time to emergencies.

How often should the timing belt of Changan Honor be replaced?

Changan Honor's timing belt can be considered for replacement at 70,000 kilometers; if it exceeds 80,000 kilometers, it is recommended to replace it promptly. The timing belt is a rubber component, and one of the main characteristics of rubber is aging. Combined with normal wear and tear, the timing belt must be replaced in time once it reaches the specified mileage. Generally, the original factory-installed belt is more durable and can be replaced at around 80,000 kilometers. Changan Honor is a new CDV commercial vehicle launched by Changan Automobile, integrating the comfort and versatility of an MPV, the sportiness and off-road capability of an SUV, the luxury and safety of a sedan, and the affordability of a microvan. In terms of body dimensions, the Changan Honor measures 4360mm in length, 1685mm in width, and 1820mm in height.

What Causes a Sudden Doubling in Fuel Consumption?

The reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Severe Engine Carbon Deposits: Carbon deposits typically form on the fuel injectors, spark plugs, throttle valve, and combustion chamber. When carbon buildup reaches a certain level, it can cause difficulties in ignition, stalling during neutral coasting or gear shifting, poor acceleration, and unstable idle speed, fluctuating between high and low. 2. Use of Low-Quality Fuel: Since low-quality fuel contains more impurities, it cannot be fully combusted. As a result, a significant portion of the gasoline is expelled from the vehicle. Additionally, the oxygen sensor may develop a layer of white or reddish-brown deposits on its surface, leading to misjudgment of exhaust oxygen content and transmission of incorrect data, ultimately affecting the control of the fuel injection ratio. 3. Excessive Vehicle Load: Some drivers tend to carry unnecessary items in their vehicles, which increases the weight. Others prefer to fill the fuel tank to its maximum capacity, which also adds to the vehicle's weight. A heavier load increases the pressure of the tires on the ground, leading to greater tire friction. 4. Use of High-Power Electrical Devices: Especially during idle, when the engine speed is low, the generator may not produce sufficient electricity. Using high-power electrical devices (such as air conditioning or high-power audio systems) can place additional strain on the engine and battery. Operating the vehicle under high load conditions can also result in increased fuel consumption.

Is It Normal for a Car Battery to Die Within a Year?

No, it is not normal. The typical lifespan of a car battery is around 3 years. If a car battery dies prematurely, it is usually due to one of the following reasons: 1. Long-term parking: When a car is left unused for an extended period, the battery can discharge. Even without usage, batteries naturally lose charge over time. Additionally, modern cars often have anti-theft systems that continue to operate while the vehicle is parked, consuming power. 2. Battery reaching end of life: Most private vehicles use maintenance-free batteries. Check the battery's indicator window—green means the battery is in good condition; black indicates low voltage and insufficient charge (recharging may help); white means the battery has reached the end of its lifespan and must be replaced. 3. Engine or alternator failure: Issues such as a loose or broken alternator belt can prevent the alternator from charging the battery. Other problems include damaged diodes in the alternator's rectifier due to sudden high current, or excessive wear on the carbon brushes and slip rings, leading to poor contact. 4. Low or leaking electrolyte: Over time, the electrolyte in a battery naturally evaporates. Regular maintenance should include checking the electrolyte level, ensuring it remains between the minimum and maximum marks. 5. Blown fuse: A blown alternator fuse can prevent the battery from charging, often indicated by the alternator warning light on the dashboard. 6. Corroded battery terminals: Poor contact due to corrosion on the battery terminals can also lead to battery failure.

At what RPM does the Honda i-VTEC engine engage?

Honda's i-VTEC system activates at 3500 RPM. Here are the details: RPM: 3500 RPM (listen carefully to the engine compartment sound). On the R18A1 engine, the VTEC engagement timing is set to potentially intervene at any RPM between 1000-3500, and beyond this range the VTEC mechanism will not activate regardless of how high the RPM goes. Working principle: When the engine exceeds 4800 RPM, coolant temperature is above 60°C, and the intake manifold vacuum meets factory specifications, the VTEC solenoid valve opens to direct oil pressure into the rocker arms, pushing the free piston to engage the high-lift cam. This extends intake valve closing time, increasing air intake volume at high RPM.
